CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Julie is an amazing real estate agent. She helped us buy our home in 2020 for less than the asking price - in Palo Alto! In January she sold my investment property. It was on the market for less than one week, and sold for above asking. It was an all cash offer and closed in 14 days. There were some complications with the property on our end, and she took care of every single thing to make sure nothing was overlooked. She is so straightforward, honest, savvy, and fun to work with!
SELLER
Julie has helped us buy and sell our home. Only word to describe her is, FANTASTIC. She is hard working, caring, responsive, communicative and supportive. She is super transparent with her strategy so you never feel surprised or caught off guard. She helps and hand holds you through the process! I highly recommend working with her if you are in the market to receive top notch service.
SELLER
Julie listed our condo for sale. Because of her Bay Area real estate knowledge and advice on when to list, how to market, dealing with offers, and other valuable input, we maximized our gain. We had multiple offers. She took care of everything (coordinating with the staging company, handyman, etc.). We didn't have to do anything. On top of it, she gracefully handled a very unprofessional buying agent from beginning to the end. I highly recommend her.
SELLER
A true professional who will bend backwards to address your needs She believes in excellence in all aspects of her life and her work. I believe she will try her utmost to make any transaction go as smoothly as possible without skimping on any details. she is a tireless worker and also fun to be working with.

Compass Off-Markets Lead the Way
Exclusive Access to California’s Hidden High-End Real Estate
By definition, the promotion of off-market listings is restricted to distribution within the listing’s brokerage.* Compass offers a unique advantage to our agents through Compass Private Exclusives. This special feature grants them access to off-market listings and enables them to share them with a network of 7,900+ California agents. This broadens the accessibility of luxury Private Exclusives to a larger pool of clients compared to other brokerages that are limited in size and regional breadth.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT OUR PLAN TO SELL YOUR HOME
Advantages of Working with a Cooperating Broker
Working with a professional buyer’s agent can provide a host of benefits you may not have considered. Together, we can collaborate to showcase your home in its best light to a broader pool of qualified buyers, ensuring a more efficient contractto-close process for everyone involved.
Increased Exposure For Your Listing
A buyer’s agent can help get your listing in front of interested buyers they are already working with, maximizing your home’s exposure in a competitive market. More eyes mean more interest.
More Qualified Buyers
The guidance and expertise of a buyer's agent increase the likelihood that you are moving forward with qualified buyers who are informed and ready to transact. What does this mean? It translates to a lower potential for the deal to fall apart and a more efficient, painless sales process for you
Seamless Contract-to-Close
Buyer agents provide guidance and support to buyers throughout the entire contract-toclose process. This means I will have the opportunity to work with a dedicated agent on the deal’s complexities to ensure an objective approach and a seamless transaction.

The Power of Photography
Beautiful photography is one of the most powerful tools for selling your home. Compass uses bestin-class photographers to show your home in its best light, make a positive first impression, and attract more buyers.
Pricing Your Property to Maximize Buyer Activity
Timing of Buyer Activity
A property receives the most traffic within the first few weeks of hitting the market. It is important to get the price right in order to gain the attention of interested buyers and maximize your home's position in the market.
Attracting Buyers Using Competitive Pricing
Using competitive analysis, market research, and Compass’ suite of AI-powered tools, we recommend a price for your property to generate the most activity and offers early on before buyers move on to newer listings.
Sell Your Home, Keep Your Privacy
Private Exclusives with Compass
A private exclusive listing is an off-market home that can be shared by a Compass agent directly with their colleagues and their buyers. Property details aren’t disseminated widely and won’t appear on public home search websites. This allows you to control what information is shared about you and your home while still getting exposure to top agents at Compass.
Discretion
Privacy is the ultimate commodity and the decision to sell your home is a personal one.
Flexibility
Decide when to share details about your home, including price, more broadly on your own timing.
Quality
Retain exposure to Compass agents, including premium placement on our agent facing platform.
Value
Get the best offer by testing the market privately to gather key insights without your listing getting stale.
Reach more prospective buyers with intelligent digital advertising.
By leveraging Compass’ digital advertising tools and partnerships across social media and advertising throughout your listing process, we can generate demand to sell your home faster, and we meet potential buyers where they are, online.
Proprietary Targeting Optimized Performance
Compass helps generate buyer interest by using proprietary data to serve ads to Facebook and Instagram users.
Compass tracks and measures the results of every campaign which allows for continued optimization.

Marketing your home
At The Oldham Group, we put an emphasis on modern marketing, taking a multi-pronged approach to the digital promotion of your property. This starts with a professional property website to properly showcase your home to interested buyers online.
The fist thing we do before marketing is Identify the buyer persona. For example, a Silicon Valley engineer with a net worth of $3M who likes mountain biking and comic-con. Then, we create marketing that will attract that buyer persona to your lising.
Enhanced Targeting allows us to target consumers based on the sites they visit and the apps installed on their phone. By narrowing down to profession-specific sies and apps, we can effectively target any profession or interest you can imagine. 2701 Witheridge Road
The property website includes photos, videos, virtual tours, listing details and has the ability to submit contact information as an interested buyer.
We run website traffic ads though Facebook and Instagram to drive visitors to the page. These ads are live for the duration of the listing and are updated with status changes such as “Coming Soon,” “Just Listed,” and “Price Reduction.
We also target the listing area through email campaigns. These emails are sent for each status change on your listing and are full of information for potential buyers. When sending these emails, we create a list of potential leads in the area through a mix of home buyers in our team database as well as local homeowner leads from a third party real estate farming tool.
To top off our digital listing campaign, we create and publish Google Display and Search advertisements. Very similar to the social media ads, these content pieces are posted for status changes. They drive traffc to the property website as all of the digital.
GOOGLE ADS
Engaging Open Houses
Whether it be in-person or a dynamic virtual tour, open houses are one of the most important ways buyers connect with your home.

Assessing Our Strategy and Monitoring the Market
Using proprietary tools such as Collections and Insights, we keep you informed of market conditions and traffic to your property.
Insights Collections
Collections allows us to have a collaborative conversation on your home selling process with instant updates on comparable listings and access to insider knowledge previously only available to the agent community.
Insights is a detailed, custom dashboard that allows us to assess the impact of our online marketing campaigns in real time. By capturing this data, we are able to further target our ads to buyers most interested in your home.
